I'm hoping someone can help me configure my mis-matched Audio components here.
I have the Yamaha HTR-5960 and the YSP-1000. I know both of these units act as receivers, and are therefore redundant in that purpose, but I purchased the HTR-5960 for the iPOD connectivity, XM Radio and to use as a general AV switch. I planned to bypass the audio processing features of the 5960 and send a pure audio signal to the YSP-1000 to do its thing.
The problem is, I can't get sound out of the 5960 unit using the Optical Out connector. It seems to be limited for use with CDR or other recording media. Has anyone successfully connected these two units? I'd sure appeciate some help, since at this point I can't use it.
Thanks!
